"Democratic processes" (supposedly part of our birthright) are not sabotaged by one side of the aisle or the other. With our Talking Heads announcing that the One Percent's Annointed One had "won" elections back East before a single ballot had been counted, I would say we are in deep doo doo. Is this really democracy?

Also, just yesterday, I was astonished to do some channel surfing last night and end up on Bill Maher's TV show. There Bill was interviewing a guest about the strong possibility that the Saudis were behind Nine Eleven. This was shocking to me, because I can clearly remember five or six years back when Maher was tossing out people who had tried to explain to him that Nine Eleven was not at all what we were led to believe.

So tonight I caught John Oliver's latest, which is an entire expose of what has gone down on the Puerto Rican people. Apparently we have bankrupted their country and have made it impossible to do anything but offer up whatever the nation has left to pay the bills of the Hedge Fund people who did the destruction. So they are actually turning off the lights and power in hospitals across the country. Those hedge fund managers and the "Funds" that were sold as part of pension plans must be paid.
